Prosecutors claim that Phil Spector's Defense Team concealed evidence

Thursday, a law clerk and a lawyer who were previously employed by famed Southern California criminal defense attorney, Robert Shapiro, said that they saw Dr. Henry Lee pick up a finger nail size object at the scene.

The testimony at the hearing outside the jury’s presence seems to contradict Dr. Lee’s official report.

Prosecutors believe that what Dr. Lee seized was a fingernail which may tend to prove that there was a struggle before the shooting.

Dr. Lee is presently in china.

The Prosecution is expected to ask for severe sanctions against the defense if it shown that the lawyers and/or their agents purposely withheld evidence.

The lawyer that was being questioned on Thursday, Sara Caplan, said that she saw Dr. Lee pick up the item whatever it was and put it in a vial.

Lee has said in his official report that the only things he recovered were two white threads and some carpet fibers.

The hearing will continue on Monday.
